Makeup Tips to Beat the Saudi Summer Heat

Sunshine is wonderful until it gets to the point where makeup starts to melt – on your face and in your bag! Weather or temperature can change the texture and the consistency of your make up. Here are a few tips which can help your makeup last longer.

For people living in a extremely hot climate, you must try to keep your foundation, concealer and lipstick in a cool place or away from the sun. Even consider putting them in the fridge when you are not using them to ensure they last as long as possible.

Icing the face before applying make up can be very helpful. It’s a must for summer to ensure you apply a primer before your foundation

Choose waterproof liner and mascara to prevent make up from smudging and keep it fresh and crispy.

Powder controls oil. However if you keep putting on a powder over and over again, it can make your make up look caked. Never put face powder on a sweaty face directly, u must dry or tap your face with a paper towel or tissue as humidity can become an issue. So first dab the face with a paper towel and once it’s dry, lock in your makeup by dusting on a powder.

Tinted gloss can be great to finish the look as well or a matte lip color.
